W10 v1803 password issues
W10 v1803...setting up a new PC...created my user name and pw as admin account...
Now I've added an additional account...it will have a password also...
BUT...I do NOT want security questions...
And I can't seem to find a way around it...
This PC is in my house...my wife uses it and I have my own account on it...and the pw never changes...
I don;t need security questions....and if I put them I'll probably forget them...
Thoughts...???

Thanks John...I do use Keepass as a pw manager...but in this case security questions just are not necessary...
If I have to adapt...I will...BUT.....
Will try your link...

My PW manager has a note section and then I keep Security Questions there.
I do that too (save questions in LastPass) with one difference...
I do not use real questions and answers, just random generated text, much like a token. Because you save it in a system like Lastpass you do not have to remember it

I did the questions....but searching a way around it...
For simplified account setup (non-microsoft accounts), simply rightclick cmd.exe and "select run as administrator". On that shell, launch
net user /add someaccountname somepassword

McKnife...never thought of that...should work...IF it works then I just CMD line into the admin group and done...
Unfortunatly...I did the questions and the account is set up and running....But I have another W10 to set up and
will try your idea with that one...

Easier, I think, to adapt.
